Hi, Jason,

 

Are you saying that getting an auth token isn't expected to work at all before 12.0, or just with a LoginReference. I'm getting an auth token without issue in 11.6 HF4.

 

However, I'm not having any luck setting the timeout to a non-standard value, using a variation of Casey Robertson' JSON. Is that JSON valid, and is it documented anywhere?

 

Cheers, Joel
